I Put 3 Popular Smart Rings to the Test. This One Improved My Wellness Habits the Most

The Oura ring was my favorite smart ring because its app was easy to understand and I liked some of the newer features from its latest software update. At the steep price of $299, this smart ring is made up of aerospace-grade titanium – one of the strongest materials on earth -- according to the site. Before I received my Oura ring, I was sent a ring sizer to figure out my ring size. Other smart rings did the same since sizing varies per brand. Once I received the Oura ring, I downloaded the Ou

I Thought Robot Lawn Mowers Would be Simple: I Was Wrong

cnet.com See Full Bio 2026-02-18 12:00:00

I spent most of spring and a good chunk of summer turning my backyard into a parking lot to test the best robot lawn mowers. In the process of doing that, I learned a lot about their benefits and their shortfalls. One of the biggest lessons was that, like most forms of automation, they can be a real pain to set up initially, but once they're ready to go, they save you a ton of effort and time compared with regular electric lawn mowers. I didn't expect that initial annoyance going into that proj

Robots eating other robots: The benefits of machine metabolism

arstechnica.com Unknown 2026-02-18 10:00:51

For decades we’ve been trying to make the robots smarter and more physically capable by mimicking biological intelligence and movement. “But in doing so, we’ve been just replicating the results of biological evolution—I say we need to replicate its methods,” argues Philippe Wyder, a developmental robotics researcher at Columbia University. Wyder led a team that demonstrated a machine with a rudimentary form of what they’re calling a metabolism. He and his colleagues built a robot that could con

A ‘Grand Unified Theory’ of Math Just Got a Little Bit Closer

TCL QM8K Review: The Best Mid-Tier TV

The main way to tell how old a TV is? Look at the bezels. Until about 10 years ago, they were thick picture frames, but they’ve slowly gotten smaller and smaller as the models turned over. With its new QM8K QLED, TCL has removed them entirely. Innovations in panel design mean that this blindingly bright screen looks like it's floating in space on its pedestal mount. It’s a classy party trick that makes it easy to hide on the wall with images or artwork on it, and it improves the viewing angle t

Three high-performance RISC-V processors to watch in H2 2025

One such feature, which I sometimes miss in Lua and Fennel, is dynamic binding.

However, we can still implement dynamic scoping that works similarly to Clojure and other Lisps using the debug library. Most of

Chemical process produces critical battery metals with no waste

Olivine is a rather unassuming rock. Olive brown to yellow green in color, this hard yet brittle mineral is thought to be the most abundant in Earth’s upper mantle. Chemically, olivine is magnesium iron silicate, though it contains other elements too. Economically, it’s close to worthless. Its limited industrial utility stretches to gemstones, metalworking, ceramics, and occasionally, as a gravel for road construction. At some mining sites, olivine is a waste product, stored in piles on the surf

Scientists have discovered a dinosaur that might have chirped like a bird, a finding that suggests the evolutionary origins of birdsong may be far more ancient than we previously thought.
